Statement on the @thinkprogress report that I "write for" US Journal, an outlet which appears to have some undisclosed connections to Iran: I'm an indie writer and I don't write for any outlet. Outlets republish my work on a daily basis, some with permission, some without. 1/3

It happens that this one was with my permission, but the outlet doesn't appear to have been honest about its origins. I've asked them to unpublish my articles; I have no issues with Iranian outlets republishing me, but I'm not okay with dishonesty about their nature. 2/3

I received no payment of any kind from the outlet, and they never said anything about connections to any government. In the interests of transparency and posterity, here is the email US Journal sent me asking for my permission to republish, and my response to them. 3/3

This is the guy who used his media connections to start the "Caitlin is a secret Nazi" conspiracy theory last year. For months he's been spreading the lie that I use sock accounts. I don't use sock accounts, this is my only account, and my husband has no Twitter accounts at all.

In the thread I just linked to he's chumming up with an actual sock account of another stalker of mine, one who only ever posts Monday through Friday and is currently circulating the appalling lie that I made up my rapes.

Socialist Twitter is dominated by a tight clique of a few dozen accounts with a couple hundred energetic followers who use aggressive hate mob tactics to keep everyone in alignment with strict groupthink. What's funny is that their influence lives and dies exclusively on Twitter.

They don't even realize it, though; they think their tiny echo chamber is a reflection of greater reality, because that's how echo chambers work. They often refer unironically to their little clique as "the left", speaking about a dynamic that only occurs in their little circle.

To be clear, this isn't a criticism of socialism or socialist ideas. This is an observation about a clique and its delusions.

Friendly public service reminder that John McCain has devoted his entire political career to slaughtering as many human beings as possible at every opportunity, and the world will be improved when he finally dies.

I'm starting an ongoing thread of all the based Democrats, neocons and Never-Trumpers who agree with Trump's Iran policy and want to Make America Great Again by destroying another Middle Eastern country using sanctions, CIA ops, and the MEK terror cult. #MAGA#RegimeChangeIran

Does anyone really believe it's a coincidence that, years prior to the 2011 outbreak of violence in Syria, the US and UK were planning to create an uprising of the exact type that occurred in 2011? Does even the biggest war proponent honestly believe that?medium.com/@caityjohnston…

Does anyone honestly think it's a coincidence that as early as 1986 the CIA was examining ways to provoke a Sunni uprising and create "a strong need for Western aid and investment to build Syria’s private economy, thus opening the way for stronger ties to Western governments"?

Does anyone honestly think it's a coincidence that a 2006 cable published by WikiLeaks shows the US government discussing ways to provoke an aggressive overreaction to a possible uprising from the Syrian government five years before that exact type of uprising occurred?
